Trapped in the net of social workings


In this day and age keeping up w/ all the latest internet networking trends is definitely vital for someone such as myself... Being a musician and self promoting but also having way too much to say about absolutely nothing.. Dammit, I need a forum.  So you've got king Zuckerberg and Facebook but as w/ all reigns. They come to an end.. W/ the new timeline and the virtual outrage that ensued.. They certainly opened themselves up.. Am not seeing any giant killers on the horizon but it will happen.  Google + was absolutely set up to be just that but going on there is like going to that night club that you always mean to check out because you've heard through the grapevine that they play awesome music but when you do it's completely empty,except 3 guys dancing very age inappropriately. Just feels uncomfortable.
After a month you check it again and you feel like you've run into an old friend that you kinda ignore now and just desperately want to get out of the awkwardness.. "Uh, hey there Google +... You're looking good...  Well, I gotta get goin...What?  My #?  Umm..  Hmm..  Funny thing.. I don't have a phone anymore, just look me up on Faccccc er I mean Google +" .  Twitter is still going strong, it meets different needs than ye old FB or Googleplus(one word, sounds like a Pokemon or an ice cream cake from Carvel) but it feels like shouting into the Grand Canyon, you're really not going to be heard ,except for the occasional shout back that you're not even sure if it was actually responding to you or just another random shout that traveled far enough for you to hear. Also, never in my life have I had more people let me know that "Someone is saying terrible things about me" or "CNBC says this is how to make money" or "Here is how I lost all this weight".. Twitter is the late night infomercial of the networking family.  Places like well.. Blogspot, I am new to and like the forum but feel if I didn't have a FB or Twitter page to share it on, no one would ever see it.. Tumblr(no E in it's name, that is how you know it is edgy and hip),I don't fully get nor do I really get Pinterest or Instagram.. Probably cause the wifey has an iPhone while I have an archaic flip phone thats greatest feature is that it makes phone calls most of the time.
Now lets talk about Myspace..  The juggernaut that was unstoppable, atop of the world.. Worth 100's of millions of , oops.. We ruined it,sorry.. How much did you pay for it? Ooooouch.. Sorry about that., As Tom's flying away in his magic hoover craft made of money and fueled by the dreams of mediocre musicians..  I am in a band and get promoting, and having sites and such to do this but even I started hating Myspace because of all the craptastic musical spam! I was getting. 300 e-mails a day from bands I would cringe from just by passing them on the radio ,let alone going to their stupid page or buying a friggin cd or an 8 track or whatever the hell dated media they were pawning.. Again, this is coming from a damn musician!. Enough is enough, I try and get the word out there about what I do but f@*k me.. Seriously, back off there Cubby, you single single handedly ,w/ a few million of your brethren, destroyed an entire social networking site.. Even Superman himself (Justin Timberlake) cannot save it..
Everyone laughed and said that Friendster was dated and was crushed under foot by the behemoth Myspace. Well,I guess size is relative cause if a behemoth can be squished, no one is too big for their britches. Everyone and everything is open to fail..   What site will be the next great social experiment that defeats the previously "undefeatables"?  No idea, but rest assure my sorry ass will be there trying to figure it out and posting thoughts that I would say out loud if not in a post or forum regardless.. So might as well try and find someone to listen. Ok. Gotto go, my workout for the day was to drink 64 ounces of black tea and run to the bathroom every 5 minutes ..Working like a charm.
